Default sadness....

put a scratch in my passenger side... touched the guardrail a little bit....


Scratched my right front rim a little, and the tire seems to have come out of the bead a little. Will it hold air overnight?
I dunno....

Could have been a lot worse i guess.

That sucks man! I feel for you, and to think I was pissed bad last week when I knocked a small piece of wood leaning against the wall in my garage over and put a tiny nick in the perfect paint on the nose of my baby.

Guess I should count my blessings. I hope your rim holds air.

rim held air. Long white scratch from wheel to wheel but nothing more than cosmetic damage.
Thank god.

Think it will buff out,or will it need paint.I did something like that a few years ago.I went to the end end of the block and did a u turn.I nailed it and the damn thing kept going sideways,and then BAM I hit the curb.It was on a set of wheels that had been chromed and leaked at the bead so I didn't care about the wheels but it,but I was still mad at myself for not letting off.
